Nissan has posted a 32 per cent surge in sales of its sports car GT-R for the period January to August across the region as compared the same period in 2012.

“No vehicle could convey Nissan’s core philosophy of innovation and excitement better than our indomitable Nissan GT-R,” said Samir Cherfan, managing director, Nissan Middle East.

“Despite the nameplate’s presence in Nissan’s portfolio for more than six decades, a convincing direct competitor is still yet to appear which can go head-to-head with GT-R on performance, versatility, exclusivity and value.

“Those who buy a Nissan GT-R not only buy a vehicle, but they are buying into a rich history of automotive excellence; they are buying something which exudes passion, something which exceeds all their expectations of what a super car should be,” he added.

The flagship model of its line-up, GT-R lies at the heart of Nissan’s global brand marketing campaign where it is appropriately featured alongside the world’s fastest man, Usain Bolt: double Olympic Champion, GT-R enthusiast and Nissan’s Director of Excitement.

Known as ‘Godzilla’ by its enthusiasts, the GT-R is known for its all-conquering road and track performance with a top speed of 315 km per hour. – TradeArabia News Service
